When we photograph children, there is always a chance that one of them will do something to call attention to themselves. That is what makes this group portrait so amusing. The fellow at right rolls his eyes back into his head just as I shot, while his two friends remain passively relaxed and unaware of his impish behavior. It is this incongruous interplay between the children that makes this image a successful portrait. I used a 24mm wideangle lens and moved in very close to fill the frame with my subjects, yet also managed to include the cobblestone street where they live, as well as a distant figure for scale incongruity.
